Ethnicity[edit]

There has been a slow-burn edit war going on over this article, about a Romanian international, since September 2013. Like most such wars, there are long periods of inactivity interspersed with periods of total war where one side adds content to the article, only to be reverted by the other fairly quickly. The issue concerns his ethnic origin and whether or not he has any Hungarian background and could have been selected to play for Hungary. User:Thehoboclown first added the content claiming that Gardoș is of Hungarian descent in September 2013 while a variety of users, including User:Nix2ro (who is no longer active), but mostly an unregistered user whose IP address changes daily (most recently User:2A02:2F08:82CF:FFFF:0:0:4F71:D3C1) then remove the content with edit summaries, such as "Bring his statement or from a member of his family! Not a Romanian article who was taken from your newspapers!", "Typical Hungarian manipulation, Prosport took it from their press, Gardoș might be a Romanian name easily, Raț isn't Racz, we have diacritics in Romanian", "There never were any talks of Florin playing for Hungary, that is a personal opinion, it does not belong on Wikipedia", "he is not Hungarian, his parents have Romanian names and he does not speak Hungarian at all. it is pure invention in the Hungarian press" and so on. The version preferred by Thehoboclown seems to be supported by proper citations and extracts from Hungarian websites (which I assume are properly translated). Does anyone have any advice or comments?

Well, I don't think it should be considered as edit-warring, at least not from my side. Reverting obvious vandalism – such as page or paragraph blanking without giving a valid reasoning – is not edit-warring in my opinion. I've added the info using leading Romanian sports sites (not Hungarian as stated above), and provided translation to English to avoid any possible problem. (Feel free to ask a Romanian speaker to confirm my translation or ask me if need any further details on these.)
Still, despite all my efforts, throw away accounts and IP hoppers appear time to time, removing this paragraph, giving rather blatant off-topic, unrelated and OR edit summaries, as can be seen in Bikeroo's collection. Thehoboclown (talk) 11:03, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
He is of Hungarian descent, speaks the language and was considered for a Hungarian call-up, all sourced, all within WP:BLP. No mention of ethnicity or heritage in the lead, which is against BLP, so I cant see a problem with it, but I personally would try some how to trim the section down, not info wise, just word wise.

Actually second read I will remove the language bit, it is not helping anything. Murry1975 (talk) 11:52, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
